Is LinkedIn useful for anything?

It seems to just be another way for salesmen to pester me. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.

Before speaking with a potential client, employer, etc. I read through their page to get an idea of their background and any conversation topics I can magically introduce which they will be impressed by. It's like an online dating profile for business relationships. This works. People love to talk about themselves and things they know about / identify with.
